Goldman Sachs Private Credit Corp. Reports $9.4 Billion NAV
Goldman Sachs Private Credit Corp. (GS Credit), a non-traded Business Development Company (BDC) managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, a division of Goldman Sachs (GS), disclosed a Net Asset Value (NAV) of approximately $9.40 billion for the period ending September 30, 2026. The figure reflects the fund's continued scale as one of the primary players in the private credit market, which has seen a broader contraction in capital flows throughout the year.
The fund's recent performance shows a stabilization in shareholder activity. In the third quarter of 2026, GS Credit received repurchase requests for approximately 7.6 million shares, representing 2.03% of shares outstanding. This is a notable decline from the 4.99% repurchase rate seen in Q1 2026, which nearly hit the fund's 5% quarterly cap. The fund also generated $400 million in gross inflows during the quarter, maintaining a healthy inflow-to-repurchase ratio of 2.1x.
Despite the stable NAV, the fund has faced industry-wide pressures including geopolitical uncertainty and a reassessment of AI’s impact on private credit portfolios. The NAV per share was recently reported at $24.59 as of July 31, 2026, while the investment portfolio's total value reached approximately $18.0 billion with leverage maintained at 0.9 times average net assets.
Israel Braces for Election-Day Threats and Assassinations
In a separate development, Israeli security agencies are preparing for unprecedented threats ahead of the October 27 election for the 26th Knesset. Intelligence assessments suggest that Iran and its proxies may attempt to disrupt the democratic process through a range of "extreme" scenarios, including a missile barrage on the morning of the vote.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued explicit warnings this week, stating that enemies of the state are seeking to influence the election results through terror attacks. Security officials have specifically identified the risk of assassinations targeting high-ranking officials. The Central Elections Committee Chairman, Justice Noam Sohlberg, has been placed under the highest security designation, threat level six, following reports of potential plots against election leadership.
The Israeli government is implementing contingency plans to ensure polling stations remain operational under fire. These measures include placing voting booths near bomb shelters and coordinating a joint command center involving the police, Shin Bet, and the IDF Home Front Command. Officials emphasized that the overriding directive is to hold the election as scheduled, even in the event of an active security emergency.
